BMW teases the 2014 F22 2-Series - Official debut set for later this week on October 25th

Despite the LA Auto Show coming up next month it seems BMW wants to debut the 2-Series early online. That is the practice automakers are adopting and BMW released this teaser video below to get our mouths watering over the new baby BMW. This will be the first ever BMW 2-Series but basically it is the spiritual successor to the E82 1-Series for those in the USA. Expect 220i, 228i, and 235i models with likely an M235i to go head to head with the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG.

Ok am I missing something? What's the hype about? It's just a 1 series with a 2 badge on it now. On a side note when ever I hear anything about the 2series the first thought that comes to mind is poop...
